This group was started to bring carol singing to local San Francisco neighborhoods on Christmas Eve. Come one, come all - neither age nor gender matter, and the more the merrier! Anyone who knows a few carols and would like to bring holiday cheer to our locale should join. Carol sheets are provided. All levels of singers are welcome though some knowledge of the most popular carols does help as does comfort with sight-singing (that is, singing music from a sheet, without accompaniment).

This is a group dedicated to learning, growing, and performing together as opera singers.

The Contra Costa County needs a community opera group. Let's be that group and bring opera back.

Weekly singing of simple (and increasingly sophisticated) 3- and 4-part harmonies. Big fun. As Brian Eno says: "I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence, heightened sexual attractiveness and a better sense of humor." http://tinyurl.com/5wv9pl There are practice tracks and sheet music under More > Files. Each week we'll publish one song that we're going to learn, so that anyone who attends can p …

Like they do in Nashville, let's do some co-writing! Whether you specialize in lyrics, melody, chords, or all three, come join us with your partially-formed ideas to mix with others and form a tasty musical stew.

Here we pool our talents and create one or two songs on the spot each time we meet.
